Cynosure

a poem by Ramesh T A

The child is the cynosure of the family and the society;
As a deity the child is worshiped
First before any important feasts, festivals and ceremonies;
For, the child is the only being free from partialities, worries, frustrations and tensions.
Seeing the child one gets the blessed opportunity to forget one’s problems a while.
The child is the symbol of remembrance of each one’s childhood,
Which is always unforgettable in our memories
And so, it is immortal in our mind through the length of life.
